Wales had become a key person in this whole matter.

If he had listened to the authorities and insisted that Ye Tianxin was the murderer, it would mean that he had become an enemy of the Empire. He would be seen as paying kindness with evil.

Wales was a financially astute person. He could sense the rising of the Empire from his business dealings.

The present Empire was like a sleeping lion that was slowly awakening.

Once the lion awoke, it would take the whole world by storm. It could send the world into chaos.

Wales remembered that an old friend of his possessed some information regarding some knowledge that the Empire wanted very much.

Back then, the Empire had sent people to negotiate with him. They offered an astronomical sum of money in exchange for the information.

At that time, his friend was not familiar with the Empire and had turned down the offer. In the last five years, the Empire had done continuous research and managed to come up with its knowledge.

With no professional help from the outside world, the Empire’s researchers not only managed to come up with its knowledge, but they had also surpassed all others in the same field within the five years.

Though surprised at the speed of development of the Empire, his friend admitted that the people of the Empire were a hardworking lot.

He warned those around him never to push the Empire to its limit.

If it had been pushed to a corner, the Empire would come up with its invention. His information had become worthless.

Based on its current development, Wales was sure that the Empire would be able to return to its former glory in less than five years.

Wales had always been in the media industry and had noticed the progress the Empire had made in this area. He was certain that in less than five years, the media industry of the Empire would become a force to be reckoned with.

He had plans for his company to expand into the Empire. He wanted a share in its success.

“Yes, I understand. I will try to arrange for Ms. Ye to be comfortable here.”

“Thank you.”

Ye Tianxin thanked Wales politely.

Although the matter happened because of Wales, it would not end with him.

“Let me know if you need anything.”

“Thank you, Mr. Wales.”

As Wales walked out of the detention center, he glanced at his watch. He turned to his assistant. “Arrange for me to meet with the mayor.”

Tang Song appeared at the detention center minutes after Wales left. He looked tired and worn out.

He just arrived at Watertown and had rushed to the detention center, taking his luggage with him.

“Ye Tianxin, it’s been a while since we last met.”

Tang Song stood at the entrance of her room. He did not understand how someone in distress could live in such a carefree way.

Ye Tianxin asked, “Have you proposed yet?

There was a melancholic look on Tang Song’s face.

“She invited me to her wedding instead.”

Tang Song had wanted to propose. Before he could do it, he received the other party’s wedding invitation.

He could not describe his feelings at that time. It was not a surprise to him. He felt relieved at the turn of events.

“You’ve been dumped?”

Tang Song looked at her forlornly, his head hung low. “You’re right. I’ve been dumped.”

Tang Song looked at Ye Tianxin. He seemed to have accepted the fact that he had been dumped. He did not have to deal with any feelings of guilt then.

He knew that he had become a changed person after the experience in the desert.

He had a different set of expectations for the woman he wanted.

He did not want a submissive and demure wife.

He wanted a wife like Cui Zhu.
